Let R be a ring with involution *. We denote by S, K and Z = Z(R) the symmetric, the skew and the central elements of R respectively.

In [4] Herstein defined the hypercenter T(R) of a ring R as

and he proved that in case R is without non-zero nil ideals then T(R) = Z(R).

In this paper we offer a partial extension of this result to rings with involution.

We focus our attention on the following subring of R:

(We shall write H(R) as H whenever there is no confusion as to the ring in question.)

Clearly H contains the central elements of R. Our aim is to show that in a semiprime ring R with involution which is 2 and 3-torsion free, the symmetric elements of H are central.
